Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

[abbas.pasha]

Hello, As i am going through the required documents to be submitted, just realized they havent asked for our copy of PR cards, which is surprising. Am I missing something?

You are already providing them the UCI# on the application form which is mentioned on the PR card…

Hi ! I will be finishing my 1095 days in Canada in Jan 2022. Planning to goto India, come back in March and then apply for citizenship. Question, if I were to get a job in USA and move there right after I send my application or at most until I get AOR, will it cause any issues later ? I have a relative here whose residential address will be my mailing address.
I checked this [https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5] and it says it should be okay but just wanted to confirm if anyone has knowledge of something gone wrong with a case like mine. Thanks

Yes it should be fine as long you follow the pointers laid in the IRCC link you shared above

Hi All, I paid the application fee (2 adults + 2 kids together) - 1460$. Should I have 4 copies of the same receipt with each of the 4 applications?

Yes this is what I did... Copy of each receipt attached with the individual application

Thanks ! Another question on packaging and sending the apps (4 of them - 2 adults and 2 kids): I was thinking of putting each application in an envelope, and then putting the 4 envelopes in a bigger envelope. Looking for advice how others mailed it out to CPC?

Just a question applying for my self and spouse. Should I be filling out the imm 5476 representative form if for any reason I need to call IRCC to follow up on application. Or is it that since we are a couple/family base application its treated as one and we don't need the representative form?

Hello friends I am applying for citizenship and as they have this requirement that if you have lived more than 183 days outside Canada you need to attach police clearance certificate (pcc) of that country too and I have spent more than 183 days in Pakistan and now I am trying to get the certificate from my country and it will take around 2 to 3 months however I need advice from you guys should I submit my application without the certificate and once I will receive the pcc I will send it to immigration or should I wait for the certificate to get it and apply after? Please advice
Thanks!

I had put all the 4 applications in one large envelope
For each application I used a paper clip. I also used sticky notes strip with different colours to identify eg Passport, identification section etc

Can someone tell me what are the travel documents?
Is it just the passport or do we need to attach our study, work permits as well?

Passport

Ah! Thanks, One more question, for this question


Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?

What needs to be filled in?

Just the passport details?

Also, Since I am Indian, what should be the end date?

I just came to Canada, travelled a few times to States and once back in India.
Holding just India Passport

Thanks, but I am applying online, so not sure, if this translates to the Q13 or Q14 here.

Hello,
I have a question with regard to PCC. I understand that I should provide one if I spent 183 in any country other than Canada in the last 4 years.
When I complete the 1095 days required to apply fo citizenship this will be my situation.
1- 314 days in county A where I used to live and work and from where I applied for immigration and that was the address I wrote in my immigration application - It is not my home country
2- 51 days in my home country from where I travelled to Canada
3- 1095 days in Canada
Do I need to provide PCC from country A?

Q13 is for paper application
